Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is support built around memory loss and the changes that come with it. We help your parent stay safe as their thinking shifts, keep a routine when days blur together, and watch for the specific behaviors that come with each stage. It’s not just about meals or bathing, though we handle those. It’s about understanding why your parent is asking the same question, why they wander, and how to respond in a way that keeps them calm.
On a typical day, our caregivers might help with breakfast, remind your parent of the time of day, take a walk together to a familiar spot, help with grooming, and make sure medications are taken. We keep things simple and predictable because that’s what the brain needs when memory is fading. We also notice changes, report them to you, and adjust if something isn’t working.
After a discharge from Hartford Hospital or a diagnosis from your doctor, families in Canton often feel the weight all at once. Our team is nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of Alzheimer’s, the progression you can expect, and the early signs that something needs attention. We’re not learning as we go; we’ve built this service on real experience with this disease.
Our founder is a nurse who has worked with Alzheimer’s families for years. That means we’re not guessing about what your parent needs as the disease progresses. We know what keeps someone safe when they wander, how to handle sundowning, and when a change in behavior signals something else is happening.
We don’t just send the next available caregiver. We spend time understanding your parent’s history, personality, and what they respond to. Then we match someone with experience in Alzheimer’s Care who fits that picture. You get briefed on everything before we start.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule, and neither do family crises. You can reach us when you need to adjust care, when your parent is having a harder day, or when you need guidance on what’s normal. We stay reachable because we know what it’s like to manage this alone.
We’ve worked with Hartford Hospital’s discharge team and we understand the gap between hospital care and being home. We know the rhythms of Canton, the neighborhoods, and how to help families transition when hospital care ends and home care begins.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.
Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.
No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.
Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.
We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.
You hear from us, not just the aide. Updates on appetite, sleep, mood, mobility — the things that matter.
Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they're ever placed in a home.

Common questions
A caregiver trained in Alzheimer's comes to your parent's home to help with personal care like bathing and grooming, prepare meals, manage medications, and keep a routine that reduces confusion. They watch for behavior changes, keep your parent safe if they wander, and help with activities that keep their mind engaged. We also give you daily updates so you know what's happening and can spot changes early. The goal is structure and safety while your parent stays home.
We can often start within a few days of a hospital discharge. We work with Hartford Hospital's care coordinators to understand what happened, what your parent needs, and what discharge instructions were given. We then match a caregiver with Alzheimer's experience and meet with your family to go over the plan. If you need care the same week as discharge, call us right away so we can prioritize your request.
Alzheimer's Care through our agency is private pay, meaning you'll cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't pay for custodial care or the kind of support we provide. We're transparent about pricing from the start, and we can talk through options like long-term care insurance, Veterans benefits, or Medicaid planning with you. We work with families at different income levels.
A home health aide is usually sent after a hospital stay for physical recovery and is covered by Medicare for a limited time. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for someone with memory loss, focused on safety, routine, and managing behavior changes. Our caregivers are trained specifically in how the disease progresses and how to respond when your parent is confused or agitated. It's a different skill set because Alzheimer's needs are different.
Yes. We take time upfront to understand your parent's background, their preferences, what they respond to, and any behaviors that need a specific approach. We then match a caregiver with experience in those areas. If the match isn't right after the first week or two, we can adjust. We know that trust and comfort matter in Alzheimer's Care, and we treat matching seriously.
We have backup caregivers trained in Alzheimer's Care who are familiar with your parent and the plan. We'll call you right away to let you know about the change and introduce the backup caregiver if it's the first time they're meeting. We don't just send someone unfamiliar, because consistency matters when someone has memory loss. Your care doesn't stop because one person is out.
